Tired of losing your drill press chuck key? Lanyard holder to the Rescue. (slrpnk.net)

I had to find the damn chuck key first, to change the drill bit out, to let me drill the hole in the chuck key, so I could attach the chuck key to the lanyard holder, so I wouldn't lose the chuck key again... All in, it was a 20 minute search for a 30 second operation but that says more about me than it does about the project...

I have done that before but it collects chips when I am working with steel.

Ah, yeah that make sense. Mine is stuck to the side of the top part of the press, and I rarely drill through any steel so its never been an issue for me.
